Timing:Time measurement by the event organiser (race result - Andreas Mayr). Each participant receives an ActivePro v2 transponder that must be worn on the body. After the finish, this transponder must be handed back, without exception.

Disqualification:We place great emphasis on fairness at the Koasa March in Ebbs. Anyone who behaves unsportsmanlike (e.g. shortcutting, disregard of the official instructions or leaving the marked routes) will be disqualified without exception by the race director. Runners who fail to reach the refreshment station on the Stripsenjoch mountain pass by 2:00 pm will no longer be classified as an active competitor or have access to services such as meals or be listed in the official results.

Liability:By registering to enter the competition, each participant agrees to the conditions of the competition. We expressly point out that sections of the routes are in alpine terrain and each runner must therefore be aware of the risk of injury when falling. We assume no liability for theft or other damage claims. Each participant enters the competition at his or her own risk. In particular, each participant is responsible for his or her physical fitness.

Insurance

The event has liability insurance cover via Uniqua. Accidents and lost property are not covered.

Important details

Advertising for events that are classified for the International National Sports Emblem are permitted at the start and finish areas. Bringing posters and issuing brochures on the route and leaving them on parked cars is strictly prohibited. Advertisers who are not known by the IVV will be rejected, if necessary legal measures will be taken!

When crossing public roads, the statutory road traffic rules are to be adhered to.

Due to the risk of rabies, pets which are brought along must be kept on a lead.

Smoking is not permitted in forested areas.

Throwing away paper and other rubbish pollutes the environment is therefore forbidden. As per legal stipulations participants will be held accountable for their actions. Rubbish is to be disposed of in the containers provided.

All runners should install the emergency app of the Tyrol mountain rescue on their smartphones, so that the participants can be found as quickly as possible in case of an emergency. Almost exact positioning of the accident location with an integrated GPS module means that the time between the alert and rescue is considerably reduced. At the same time, a telephone connection allows clarification of the emergency situation and support of the parties concerned when dealing with the situation. This makes the Tyrol mountain rescue emergency app a valuable supplement to the Alpine emergency number 140, and means that it can even save lives.

We recommend that you take out recovery cost insurance. This is valid for the entire year, for the whole family, for just €28/year. Plus you support the work of the mountain rescue with your purchase! With the insurance you are covered for costs arising from a search, and rescue with a helicopter up to the transfer to a rescue vehicle.

Weather

The event, including all the races, will be held in any weather. However, in the event of extreme weather, the organiser reserves the right to prematurely end any race or cancel any race entirely, or shorten or modify any route (e.g. due to snow), without assuming any claim for reimbursement of the entry fee.
